EX7300v2 firmware update done but has green blinking light

I am a novice on fixing cpu stuff.  I had an update to the extender and after the update the power light just keeps blinking green. I need to get this fixed before my kids start school tomorrow.

Have you tried a factory reset? 

push and hold reset for 7-15 seconds while powered on. 

If that doesnt' help, you can try recoverying it. 

You can try recoving it with tftp or nmrpflash.  

are you on windows? if so, follow this guide

just make sure you enable tftp

and here's a video walk through using a tftp client. Use the built in one for windows 10 though. the video is more of an example of how its done.

and if that doesn't work, you can try using nmrpflash
